It's not easy to take good photos at night without a tripod... here are the only two that came out "not so blurry"

Yesterday I had Eibach sway bars installed...

I didn't plan on getting them this soon, but a fellow club member purchased sway bars for a 2010-2011 instead of 2012+ so he offered them to me instead of having to pay to ship them back..... the downside of purchasing & installing parts without your wife's knowledge:

(at least this "doghouse" has heated leather seats.... and new sway bars.)

This one?

I prepared my "bed" in the garage when I told my wife that I got the sway bars installed without discussing it with her.... luckily she didn't find out from someone else and eventually understood that it was a deal that I couldn't pass up.

I think I'm finally getting my heritage grille painted... it's been sitting in my garage for nearly a year. :/

.. I went back and forth on it for a long time, but since I blacked out the front, I decided to go with black. If I didn't black out the front, I would have went with Yellow.

Great choice!
